Kavik Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 My mum is into whole feeding and has expressed an interest in raw feeding her dog, so I thought I might get her a good book on it for Christmas so that she does it correctly. What are people's recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labsrule Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Two books I would recommend as I purchased these myself 3-4 yrs ago - by Dr Ian Billinghurst - "Give your Dog a Bone" and "The Barf Diet" - they can be purchased from his website below or other online stores if you google the book titles: Dr Ian Billinghurst's Barf Website Another book I purchased that you might be interested in is "Healthy Dogs" by Dr Barbara Fougere and this can be purchased from her Vet practice (located in Russell Lea - near Drummoyne) or by phone - below is the website - just scroll down towards the bottom and you will see the book listed.

Kavik Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 How do Billinghurst's and Lonsdale's ideas on Raw Feeding differ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshman Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 How do Billinghurst's and Lonsdale's ideas on Raw Feeding differ? As I recall, Billinghurst feeds veggies/fruit/supplements etc. with his RMBs, and Lonsdale doesn't - just goes for the RMBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopenfox Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I would recommend 'Work Wonders - feed your dog raw meaty bones' by Tom Lonsdale. Billinghurst plans his diet information around his idea that dogs are omnivores. Lonsdale bases his stuff on the fact that dogs are carnivores.

lablab Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 A book which I found really useful and far less confusing than the BARF books is "Real Food for Cats and Dogs - A practical guide to feeding your pet a natural balanced diet" by Dr Clair Middle. The lady is a vet of 25 years experience and writes in a clear, easy to understand manner. Simple to put her ideas into practice. It is published by Fremantle Press in 2008. It contains many tips about natural feeding which do not appear in other books (eg feeding zucchini and eggplant should be avoided for itchy dogs). Try your online local library catalogue first. (Brisbane City Council have a copy, maybe others do too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
